My old drummer Josh gettin' married same month as the new one
Scared me just a bit, but it was no surprise
Found and lost his hand on a woman heart
Now he doin' time without no pardon
Huddle in men, they're dropping like flies!
Oh, I mean rice

A velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same
A velvet covered brick will lay you out

In a sense, I'm innocent
But under my tongue a perfume scent just turned me in
And turned me into salt
Well, I'm torn to pieces in the dark
With my head beatin' down my heart
Tell him, "Man, this is all your fault!"

A velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same
A velvet covered brick will lay you out
A velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same
A velvet covered brick will lay you out

Well, I could run
But not far enough
'Cause love's gonna' trip me if I try
It's gonna' break your heart
Or break my routine
Soft to the touch,

But a velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same
A velvet covered brick will lay you out
A velvet covered brick will knock you down, just the same
A velvet covered brick will lay you out
